Allen, I haven’t any ideas about what’s causing your present problem, but honestly, update to Vegas 6.0d – you can try the demo first – you will then gain many many excellent new features, plus, without knowing why, I wouldn’t be surprised if your Print to Tape would then be ok.
p.s. If you don’t want to to go this way, you can always add the Colour bars to the timeline before rendering the avi.
